What's wrong with America?

I've started a house painting project, inside, and am at a loss for the things I need. 

• Newspapers - nope.  I haven't taken one for years and so I don't have anything to cover the floor.
• Coffee can - it's always more convenient to put a smaller amount of paint into a container that can be easily handled.  Used to be there was always a coffee can available for this.  Haven't bought coffee in a can for years, do they still sell coffee in cans?  So don't have any of those.
• Frozen O.J. can - also haven't seen one of those in years.  Very handy for smaller things.  I think there is a many year old lemonade can in the back of the freezer but should I really open it up to throw away just for this project?
• Baby food jars - these may still exist, but I see baby food now comes in "pouches".  Wasteful and perhaps toxic.  I'm holding onto my stash that hold the small screws and nuts etc. in the garage.

Sigh...  I guess I'll just have to muddle through.  But really, all those reusable glass and metal containers were such a blessing.  Maybe another time we can discuss all the small plastic containers that have replaced them and the waste they create.
